Correction on Galatians

Paradigm Shifts: A Change in Method
Are you salt? Jesus used this metaphor to help us understand the effect that we are to have on the surrounding culture. We are not to be unnoticed, blended consistency.

By John C. Thorman During the tour of Israel with Dr. Moen and Rabbi Gorelik in October 2009, Bob Gorelik made reference one evening to Jerusalem and the temple as being existent in heaven before the creation of the world.
